Pete Aguilar (CA-31) traveled throughout San Bernardino County, holding Jobs Roundtable discussions with small business owners, veterans, and community leaders to talk about job creation and economic growth in the Inland Empire.

Rep. Pete Aguilar (CA-31) and Rep. Ruben Gallego (AZ-07) released a letter to Speaker John Boehner, urging him to bring a clean Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding bill to the House floor for a vote. The letter, signed by 119 Members of Congress, calls for a clean funding bill, one free of reckless anti- immigration riders that would roll back President Obama's executive orders. If a funding bill is not passed in the next nine days, the Department of Homeland Security will face a shutdown.
